- In the Gardeen district marriages generally take place during Shrove. The month of May is thought unlucky for marriage.
Matches are made in this locality, and money is given as a fortune, after much bargaining. After sixty years ago marriages took place in the houses, "Straw boys" visited the houses during the wedding feasts, and departed after being well treated. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
